STOVE.

Application filed September 18, 1922. Serial No. 588,791.

To all whom, it may concern:

lie it known that I, Jenn Ollontanos, a citizen of the United States, residing at l 7 in the county of Erie and State of l ennsylvania, have invented newand useful improvements in Stoves, of which the following is a specification.

This invention is designed to improve the cmistruction oit stoves particularly stoves connnonly called hot plates by forming them with iuterchangeable removable covers, these c( preferably having elevated cooking surfaces surrounded by an integral wall on the cover plate This adds very much to the attractiveness of the article, makes it more s: iitary and also adds to the availability 01. the article in that the removable plates may be interchanged at will.

The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings as 'liollows:

Fig. 1 shows a front elevation of the stove.

Fig. 2 a central vertical section through (no ot the removable top plates with the cooking surface thereon. I

Fig. 3 a similar top plate arranged for a wa'li'le iron.

Fig. a plan view of a stove a part being broken away to better show construction.

1 marks the surrounding frame for the hot plate whirh is preferably formed by bending bar iron. LegsQ are formed of angle iron and preferably spot welded into the owners of the frame, brace rods 2 eX- tcnding from leg to leg. Burners 3 are supxfn-ted in the frame, the mixer pipe or passage 4; extending through the frame 1 and being secured in position by a plate 5 which is secured to the ii-nine by screws 6. Brackets T extend from the plates 5 and are pro-' vided with tl i clamps 8 at their ends for securing the supply pipe 9. Controlling valved 1.0 extend tronrthe supply pipe to the 1m 0 ll on the pipe 1;. One end of the plpG'lllS (J-lOSWi by a cap '12 and theopposite end. is pro\ 'ide l with a nipple 13 for receiving a supp hose,

ll. cover plate arranged on the frantic.

I This has a burner opening 15 surrounded by a upstanding wall 16. The plate has the liangeor flat portion 16 extending from the wall 16 and lugs 17 project downwardly from the under-side of the plate, these lugs :heingpositioned to engage the inner surtaces of the surrounding frame 1. The

walls 16 are provided with the wattle iron socket 16" and a wattle iron 11 is mounted with its swivelled end in the socket, the wafilc iron being designed to operate in proper relation to a flame from the burner 3, the *aliie iron reaching to a point adjacent to the side walls 16. r V

A removable plate 18 may be used with the plate l.+l-.. This has an upstanding wall 19 and an outwardly extending cover portion :20. A. cooking surface 21 is arranged at the upper edge within the wall 19, the bottom of this plate being directly exposed to the flames from the burner. Lugs 22 extend downwardly in position to engagethe inner surfaces of the frame 1.

The plates 18 and t are interchangeable so that the stove top is made up of these 1iliter-changeable units and the stove may be extended as much as desired, that is to say, there may be as many openings as required and the cov r plates may be altered to suit the convenience ol' the user. The integrally formed walls surrounding the burner open device as a whole inuclrmoro sanitary than devices built up from separate pieces. By

extending these cover plates over the edge rounding frame; a plurality of detachable top plates mounted directly on the frame andl'orniing the complete'top oi the stove said top'plates being interchangeable, one oil the top plates having a burner opening 7 ing strengthen the'cover plate, andmake the therein witha surrounding annular upfi standing wall integral with the plateythe plate extendinglaterally From the rip-staml ing wall without obstruction to the edge of the plate and the lip-standing wall having a watlle iron socket inits upper edge; a wattle iron arranged within the wall and supported by said socket; and a burner under each plate, one of said burners being directly under the wattle i: on and having its heatdirected upwardly by the upstanding wall.

2. In a stove, the combination of burner v a surrounding frame; a topplate above the lull-neiand 0:6 hack 0:; the fr 119 and hnvlng a burner 0pen mg there n with an annular sm'l'ouncllng upstanding wall integral with the plate, the plate extending; laterally from the upstandingl; wall withmlt obstruction to the edge of the plate and the upstanding Wall having a emllng ever the from; and Wll'llfi imn HOClicl In the edge thereof: and z: \Yallle iron arranged Within the Wall snp- IJOl'tOtl by said socket.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set JOHN C. HOLLANDS.
